It’s taken a few years, but most actionscript developers are now well and truly on the OO path to enlightenment, however, it’s only recently that developers are starting to ask me, in any numbers, about the best UML tool to use for actionscript.

ok, so a little cross pollination here. With the problems of sending bulk emails to nearly 500 members (and growing) containing the word ‘Poker’, through multiple spam filters and firewalls, a hell of a lot of the member’s notifications don’t get through. Similarly, many people who sign up for the events run by PokerCoder don’t get notifications for the same reasons.

So, PokerCoder now has a twitter thread. http://twitter.com/pokercoder. Please follow it for early event notifications, special offers and feedback requests etc, all designed to notify you of events and improve what is already a sell out, free poker and networking event sponsored by Adobe.If you want to know more about the events then check out the PokerCoder site and the blog.

The publishers have just let me know that Flash and Flex Developer magazine (available as hard copy of for download) is nearly half price for a year’s subscription but only until tomorrow (Feb 14th). So if you’d like to get this excellent magazine at one-year USD 49.00 (Euro 39.00) / two-year USD 79.00 (Euro 69.00) then get to the site and sign up quick.
